The letter plainly shows he doesn't support terrorists. As I wrote in my original comment, it makes no reference to Zionism at all.

You're claiming that draft, that I had to tell you about, which was written 7 years after the establishment of the state of Israel (when it was barely a functioning state) is Hasbara?

Edit: Also, if he was against Zionism, why was he ashamed he couldn't accept being Israel's president? Why was he moved by the offer?

I’m not claiming that the draft speech and its contents are hasbara, only that I suspect they might be, and that if they aren’t, then I think less of Einstein if he wrote that, “the Arab hostility […] is the root cause of the tension,” because I think the root cause is Western settler-colonialism.

I won't tell you what to think of him but honestly, he was a Jew who saw firsthand the rise of violent antisemitism in Europe - he was extremely biased on this subject, his views don't really surprise me.

Edit: Btw after re-reading my replies to you, not sure why I was so hostile, sorry
